Alanna Jacinto has been Hades Florentine's secret lover for three years. Despite that, she hasn't won his heart or love. But when she's finally decided to give up, he comes chasing after her.Alanna says coldly, "Too little, too late, Mr. Florentine. Your love is cheaper than dirt."Hades holds her tightly. "Yes, my love is cheaper than dirt, and I am too. Don't go, Ally. I'm begging you."

Watch out for your own safety these couple of days and take Justin wherever you go. Wait for me to return."Alanna responded, "How long will you be there for?""Three days." As he spoke, his voice became lower. "Let's get our marriage license when I'm back, okay?"Alanna was dazed.Hades chuckled. "Ally, wait for me to come back," he said. Then, he ended the call.As she looked at her phone, Alanna couldn't help but smile.Unbeknownst to her, Chelsey had crept up to her. When the call ended, Chelsey abruptly wrapped her arm around Alanna's shoulders. "Talking to that bastard again?"Alanna laughed. "When did you come?"Chelsey pursed her lips. "Michel brought me here. He kept saying I should take a look around at the equipment they had. Why should I? So what if they have state-of-the-art equipment? Dr. Presley's not he
"Do you know how long I've waited to get my hands on these beads?" asked Hades.No doubt, Alanna had promised to give their relationship a try and agreed to his proposal. Even so, he had always known that Alanna was troubled over something elseIt was because of that baby and what happened in their past.He dared not ask for her to treat her as she used to. As long as she was willing to accept his kindness, that alone sufficed.But at that moment, Hades could finally feel she was trying to get closer to him.When Alanna heard him, her lips curved into a slight smile. She looked up and bit him on the chin. "Keep it on. When others ask you about it, remember to tell them it's from your fiancée!"Hades gazed at her. Suddenly, he climbed on top of her. "What should I do? I don't feel like going to work anymore. Instead, I feel like—"Blushing, Alanna covered his mouth. "Off to work, you!" she said, pushing him off her. Smiling, she headed toward the inpatient department.Hades watc
Hades froze. Alanna, who was helping herself to the food, paused abruptly, too.Seeing how loving they were, Margaret couldn't help but break into a smile. Her gaze fell on Alanna's finger, and she winked at Alanna.Alanna forced a smile. Breaking free from Hades, she went to Margaret and took the bowl she held from her. "Margaret, I'm suddenly craving pickles. Please serve me some."Margaret smiled as she acknowledged her instructions.Hades listened to Yves in silence. "Melanie had been calling you, but her calls didn't go through. She's now throwing a tantrum, saying that her only wish is for Tucker to be released."Hades glanced at Alanna. In a lowered tone, he said, "Let her be. Don't mind her."Then, he ended the call. Walking over to Alanna, he hugged her again. "Does your stomach still hurt?""I'm fine now," Alanna replied as she set the table.Hades held her hand. "I heard you're craving pickles. You've never liked anything sour or spicy."Alanna glanced at him. "Perh
Alexander was rendered speechless.Cyrus' lips curved into a smile. "But then, of course, that is another story. It's late now, Alexander. You should go back and rest."Despite feeling indignant, Alexander didn't say anything else.After he left, Cyrus abruptly picked up a glass and hurled it across the room. There was a loud smash. Frightened, the household staff in the room stifled their breaths.Cyrus clutched his cane tightly as the menacing look in his eyes became even more intense. "Get that bastard back here!"Yves was silent for a moment. Then, he asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with Alanna anyway?""Shut up! As the head of the Florentine family, how can he simply marry a random woman? Do you think just anyone can be a part of our family?"Yves' lips curled. Turning around, he called Hades.Alanna was already asleep when Hades finished showering. He glanced at his phone which was ringing incessantly. He picked it up and headed out.Yves said, "Hades, Grandpa flew off the
Alanna felt like she was in a trance as she stared at the ring on her ring finger. She didn't know if agreeing to Hades' proposal was the right decision.There were issues between them that were yet to be resolved, especially the Florentines' perception of her. What happened tonight was a clear indication of that.There was also Melanie.But when Hades asked her repeatedly if she was willing to marry him, she couldn't bring herself to reject him.Hades came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. When he saw Alanna staring at the ring, he laughed.Walking over, he hugged her. "Do you like it?"Alanna smiled and nodded. Hades gently bit her finger. "But why do you look so unhappy?" he asked. "Are you regretting it already?"Alanna looked at him. "Hades, I'm now giving myself entirely to you. Please don't abandon me again."Hades gazed deeply at her. After a long pause, he said, "Ally, no matter what happens in the future, I won't abandon you."Alanna giggled and nodd
Holly nodded with tears shimmering in her eyes.Tonight's incident was more humiliating to her compared to the humiliation Alanna had suffered.Holly gnashed her teeth together out of fury. Yet, she could only put up a gracious façade.Meanwhile, Yves couldn't help but frown.Had Cyrus gone insane?As for Joana, she had watched the drama unfold before her eyes impassively from a distance away. A moment later, she turned to leave.Veronica remained glued to her side the whole time. "Aunt Joana, just look at how outrageous Hades is acting nowadays! He keeps talking back to Grandpa regardless of the situation!"There was a gentle smile playing on Joana's lips. "He didn't let the woman he loves suffer from any form of aggrievement. That's what my son should be like."Veronica just pouted. "But I don't like that Alanna woman at all! She might have a pretty face, but she doesn't match up to Holly in any other aspects! She doesn't have a rich background, much less an influential one!
The moment Cyrus walked out, he pinned his gaze on Alanna right away. Just one look was enough for her to pick up on his displeasure.This was considered her first official meeting with Cyrus.Cyrus glanced at Alanna for a split second before looking away.Alanna just looked down at her feet while chortling. "I can tell that your grandfather really dislikes me."Hades gripped her hand. "My love for you is enough."She pursed her lips wordlessly.The atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more awkward.Holly said softly, "Hades…"Hades pretended as though he had not seen her as he led Alanna to the side.Cyrus' expression darkened instantly. "Hades Florentine, come here this instant!"Hades chuckled out loud. "Oh? Isn't it enough for one person to stay by your side, Grandpa?"Cyrus' expression faltered even more. Then again, many guests had already attended a banquet that was meant for him. There was no way he'd get into a fight with Hades right now.But he must teach Al
Hades' muscular chest and toned abs were extremely sexy as always.Even though Alanna had slept with him countless times in the past, her heart would still flutter because of him.She made eye contact with him briefly before pulling him into a kiss. As a result, Hades lost control of his desires immediately.They made love till it was past midnight.…In the end, Alanna still attended Cyrus' birthday banquet. That was because Cyrus had dispatched his subordinate over to Hades' apartment, stating that she was cordially invited to attend the banquet.Even though Hades wore a stormy expression, he still nodded in the end.Since Cyrus insisted on bringing up his relationship with Alanna, he didn't mind putting an end to it at the banquet.Of course, Hades was still the one picking out Alanna's gown for her. It was a strapless gown with two open holes near the hip bones. While the gown might seem simplistic at first glance, the touch of sexiness added a special charm to it.Hades f
Hades and Alanna stayed in the hospital till nightfall.Upon exiting the hospital, they spotted Michel standing on the sidewalk while smoking. He looked quite sullen and dejected."What happened? Did Dr. Soltz hit you again?" Hades asked mockingly.Michel just clicked his tongue, albeit dejectedly. "Alanna, is it possible that your friend has never met a guy before?"Alanna was slightly displeased. "What's with that question, Michel?"Michel rubbed his nose. "That's not what I meant. It's just that… How is it possible for her to stop in her tracks the moment she sees Anton?"He had left with Chelsey this afternoon just so he could witness her dealing with the resignation paperwork. What he didn't expect was that they'd bump into Anton at Lovewood Hospital.To make things worse, Anton advised Chelsey to stay in her current job. He even added, "I just saw an approval stamp on your application to pursue further studies. Are you not going to do that anymore?"Chelsey glared at Mich
